Original: 32-year-old "ellipsoid" horror game Ecstatica gets a PC re-release today, showing us an alternative timeline in which polygonal 3D never became dominant

Ecstatica, the 1997 horror game built from ellipsoids rather than polygons, has received a PC re-release. The game, developed by Andrew Spencer Studios and originally published by Psygnosis, is being celebrated for its distinctive visual style, which offers a glimpse of an alternative path 3D gaming might have taken had polygonal graphics not become the industry standard in the mid-1990s.

Why now: The surprise re-release of a cult classic is drawing attention from retro gaming fans and industry observers alike.
